Cartrophen Injection 10ml is a prescription-only veterinary medicine designed to help manage osteoarthritis in dogs. As a disease-modifying osteoarthritis drug (DMOAD), it offers more than just pain relief, working to protect and support the health of your dog's joints.

Description

Dealing with canine osteoarthritis can be challenging, but Cartrophen Injection 10ml provides a trusted approach to improve your dog's comfort and mobility. This veterinary solution contains pentosan polysulfate (PPS), a semi-synthetic polysulfated polysaccharide known for its chondroprotective properties.

How Cartrophen Injection Works

Unlike standard pain relievers, Cartrophen Injection 10ml addresses the underlying causes of osteoarthritis. It works by:

  • Supporting Cartilage Health: Stimulates the synthesis of cartilage matrix and hyaluronic acid, crucial for joint lubrication and function.
  • Reducing Inflammation: Inhibits pro-inflammatory mediators that contribute to joint damage and pain.
  • Improving Joint Perfusion: Helps to mobilise clots and deposits in synovial tissues and blood vessels, enhancing nutrient supply to the joint.
  • Modifying Disease Progression: Acts as a DMOAD, aiming to slow down the degenerative processes within the joint rather than just masking symptoms.

By acting on these multiple pathways, Cartrophen Injection 10ml helps alleviate clinical signs of osteoarthritis, such as lameness and pain, promoting better long-term joint health for your beloved pet. Because this is a prescription-only veterinary medicine, it must be prescribed by a vet who will assess your dog's specific needs.
